Is there some significant opposition we could invite to this conversation, or could we just have some revamped sub boards back. Also I want to be able to double space again. I can't believe I was out drinking with nature boy and did not bring this up.

Leaving this up for a a little while longer. Considering people didn't mentioned not seeing the thread the last time I figured I'd leave this up and bump it now and then. It won't kill anyone to be like it is for a little while longer

I'm in agreement that Now Playing should be moved. When the original thread was started it focused a lot more on Bonnaroo. Not so much these days. Nothing is off limits.
What about the idea of two threads? One in The Which (for bands playing Roo) and one in TML? Is that too much?

So I planned on bumping this a couple more times before anything is to happen. I don't want people to see any changes and then say "I didn't know about changes coming and would have spoke up if I did" again. Leaning towards putting back the "Shows" sub-forum and then leaving the main area to discuss bands/albums and other music topics.

I read this as "I don't have time for this shit until after Roo."

The festival sub forum got a lot of use as well.
Right. Sorry if I wasn't clear but when I said "putting back the "Shows" sub-forum" that meant putting it back along with the Festivals sub-forum which currently still exists. Not removing any, just adding one back.
That's funny. On the proboards mobile app there still are sub boards apparently. I thought they had returned and even created a yay topic there but now that I look at it closer the icon for them seems to be a lighter gray than the festivals icon. You guys aware of this issue?

Wasn't aware of it until now, but thanks. It's likely a proboards thing. They're still working hard on the transition to better forums/functions.

I fully support the idea of bringing back the "Shows" forum, keeping the "Festivals" forum, and keeping this one for general artist and music discussion.
Why not? Everything else would benefit from staying organized in a subforum. Why should Now Playing be the only one not in one. It will give it all a nice, neat appearance. And just an idea...if Now Playing had its own sub forum, threads could be added for randon stuff like videos, singles, recorded live sets, playlists, etc., since it is usually dominated by albums.
Just joking around and keeping it bumped, but in that vein it might be interesting to have a few Now Playing genre threads. Like the Now Playing Bluegrass, etc...
One of the reasons that I like about "Now Playing" is the diversity. Having different threads with different genres of music would defeat the purpose of the thread. Introducing new music to people that may not be aware of it.

That's just my 2 cents on all that.
Agreed. There could be a lot of value from having some genre specific threads for recommendations/show reviews/etc. in the vein of the metal thread and the bleep bloop sanctum.
Sorry, I should have specified "Now Playing" threads.
I know that is what you are going for. I meant that there could be "the metal thread", "the bluegrass thread", "the world music thread, etc. then "now playing" on top of those. The genre specific threads would be heavier on discussion whereas now playing would be just for what you are listening to.
The music lounge is sufficient for 'metal threads', 'blugrass threads', 'threads devotes to whatever beloved inforoo band/album', etc. Just sticky 'Now Playing' thread at the top of music lounge along with 'upcoming releases' and 'album of the month' threads. ITM only needs to move threads about shows/tours to the new Show subforum and sticky 'upcoming shows' and 'any good shows lately?' threads to the top of that subforum.
I don't want to see Now Playing divided into genres. I, and many others, would overlook way too many things. I think Now Playing as a sub forum, with an "Albums" thread an "Everything Else" thread, would be nice. But, to be completely honest, I wouldn't care if it stayed the same. I just would like it to have its own sub forum to keep the Music Lounge clean and categorized.

That is a much better idea than the one I had. Can we have a thread were we argue about which thread to put LCD SoundSystem in?
